Host Genetic Susceptibility to Infection

2008
The risk of infection depends on complex interactions among the host, the pathogen, and the environment. Some pathogens, such as Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, can cause serious life-threatening illness in healthy individuals, while others, such as Pneumocystis carinii, rely more on deficiencies in the host’s immune system, for ...

Host Genetic Polymorphisms Influencing Susceptibility to Dengue

DNA and Cell Biology, 2018
Dengue is a pandemic-prone viral disease which is endemic in more than 100 countries and which puts half of the world's population at risk. While the disease presents as subclinical infection or mild fever in the majority of cases, approximately a quarter of the infected individuals experience severe forms of disease like dengue hemorrhagic fever ...

Genetic host resistance and susceptibility to leprosy

Microbes and Infection, 2006
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that affects 600,000 new individuals worldwide every year. This article summarizes some of the advances achieved over the past decades towards the description of the exact number, location and nature of the genetic variants responsible for the well established genetic component controlling leprosy susceptibility ...

Host Susceptibility as a Component in Host-Parasitoid Systems

The Journal of Animal Ecology, 1984
Utilisation du modele de simulation de Monte Carlo dans lequel les hotes sont soit tous egalement sensibles au parasitisme ou presentent un degre de sensibilite qui varie au hasard (dans le cadre d'etudes sur la dynamique des populations d'hotes et de parasites)

Host Genetics in Malaria Susceptibility

RESEARCH INVENTION JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC AND EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES
Malaria remains one of the most significant parasitic diseases globally, exerting a disproportionate burden in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Host genetic factors play a critical role in determining susceptibility to malaria infection and severity, with evolutionary evidence showing that Plasmodium parasites have shaped human genetic ...

Genetics of Prion Diversity and Host Susceptibility

1991
Although all priori diseases, including familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and Gerstmann—Straussler syndrome (GSS), are transmissible by inoculation, several features distinguish them from conventional infectious diseases. Scrapie, CJD and GSS are afebrile and proceed in the apparent absence of an immune response against the agent.
